Dental Coaching Leaders Academy Create a Practice That Thrives Without You

Overview

Running a dental practice often means carrying the weight of every decision, every challenge, and every member of the team. The result? Principals and practice managers end up too busy, too stressed, and too involved in the day-to-day.

The Coaching Leaders Academy changes that.

Based on the best-selling book Coaching Leaders, this practical and interactive workshop equips dentists, practice owners, managers, and principals with the skills to move from being overly directive to becoming true coaching leaders. You’ll discover how to unlock the full potential of your team, build a culture of independence and accountability, and free yourself from the constant burden of micromanagement.

This isn’t theory - it’s a hands-on workshop with live coaching practice, real-world tools, and strategies you can use immediately to transform your practice.
